Not to mention that the animation quality drops as well as the content. Bleach deserves some sort of prize for their anime. Its EPIC.

I'm not saying Bleach should get canceled due to their fillers, and I highly doubt that's the reason. What I said is its better to give the anime a hiatus and let the manga develop, and then return when there is enough room to animate pure manga. That would be much better than throwing in fillers every ten to twenty episodes like they are now, thereby splitting up the anime.

The first part of Naruto for example averaged 2-3 chapters per episode. So that was 38-57 pages of script per episode. Naruto Shippuden cut that down to 1-2 per episode(only 19-38 pages of script) which caused Shippuden to drag considerably more. As I haven't watched Bleach recently I can't accurately say what their pacing was like but in the past it was fairly slow. Which leads to not-so-great stuff like the infamous...

Of all the animation studio's Pierrot seems like the worst offender when it comes to that stuff. They try to patch it with filler, repeatedly loop combat animations, or drag out scenes where everybody is standing around to absurd lengths; but all of that stuff comes at the price of cutting into the overall quality of the series and makes less and less appealing as a DVD purchase.

Lol, that video was hilarious, but she only says Kurisaki-kun like seven times whereas the video mocking it last over 4 minutes and is therefore even more annoying. To some extent I understand why she was chanting his name, she was going into shock, but I agree it did not need to be extended that long. The Arrancar holding Ichigo's head would have crushed his scull by the time he reached down to break his arms, defiantly a classic case of over extension. But once again, if we pace the anime quickly, it won't be long before it quickly overtakes the manga, and we'll be stuck with fillers either way. After all, a extension to a scene is a low grade filler, but at least it keeps the story flowing, albeit, slow at times.

@OtakuModeEngage
That video is spoofing it but I more meant the way the animators general tendency to use "Kurosaki-kun" to buy time in more than just that scene. Seven times in one scene is not as unusual as I wish it was. She does it to the point where it got to be like 50% of that character's dialogue. That voice actress must just roll her eyes when she gets her script.

Granted it is a balancing act, if you pace an anime quickly it's true it will overtake the manga but fillers aren't the only way of handling that. Sunrise for example went on temporary hiatus' for Gintama, which is in my opinion the best of the jump series to anime adaptations, when it caught up to it's manga.

I mean, wouldn't you rather have 24 great episodes of Bleach or Naruto a year than 52 mediocre ones?

And if they condensed the scripts stuff like the "Kurosaki-kun" thing wouldn't happen. Nor would those awkward fluff parts Pierrot animators have a habit of adding into fights.

Re: Bleach TV Anime Ending on March 27

I love that kind of animation, it breaths life into the usual animation. Some of the best scenes of animations have a similar style to that Imo. Or are you just disappointed, because you are not familiar with this? A bit of exegeration wouldn't hurt for a lot of long running series.

Re: Bleach TV Anime Ending on March 27

I personally think that ending it on march 27 would be better.
Simply because then we won't have pointless filler to milk the series and really, bleach is very close to the manga. Even when we get back to canon, be sure that we're gonna take a "break" and go to filler, just like arrancar arc, but this time might even be worse considering how kubo love his big panels.
Thing is bleach isn't made for one chapter to one episode pace and even three chapters to one episode can feel like a drag sometimes.
So it would be better for it to end now and then 4 to 5 years later
start up a new series, one that covers the final chapter of bleach.
In great animation and great pacing.

I don't get why people say that this arc isn't the right arc to end bleach. I know aizen arc might be a better place but this arc is too, since

at the end of this arc, ichigo is back to being a sub-shinigami again and the series could end with him being "the protector of karahura town" forever, living in peace and fighting hollows infinitely like a superhero

Re: Bleach TV Anime Ending on March 27

I just thought of the perfect solution. A repeat&reboot for the Bleach anime. Start all the way from episode 1 stating in April and skipping all the fillers. Add in some upscaling and fixing animation problems and we have our Bleach fix for about 5 years.

Fillers total is like 110 episodes or something. Plot is about 250 episodes. So thats about 4 years of distance between the manga and anime if they repeat&reboot the manga.

Also a lot of people would be more happy about the anime since many have complained about the fillers breaking into the middle of arcs.

Re: Bleach TV Anime Ending on March 27

And now that they have been released, there is no reason to remake them, when we can just chose to watch the "canon" episodes. DBZ was old, HxH was hardly finished by the time they got to the OVA. There is no or not much money for them to gain from the work they would have to invest, nor would it make it the anime much better aside from filtering out the fillers. With the way the last episodes are adapted, such a version could easily end within 3 to 3 1/2 years tough.
Don't know why the second part of Zeltrax's post was kept here, so it would be nice if a mod could move it to the other thread linked to by Miyagi. Thanks.

Re: Bleach TV Anime Ending on March 27

No switching to a different channel and time, it´s a real cancellation.

Anyway, I have founde one pic:

Here are some summaries from an another posting:

- Episode 364 is about Byakuya vs. Tsukishima
- Episode 365 is about Ichigo & Ishida vs. Ginjou
- Episode 366 is about Ichigo’s new bankai going up against Ginjou’s hollow powers
- Next to 366’s episode title it also says "Last Episode".
